Description

This Classic Pumpkin Roll with Creamy Filling is the perfect fall dessert. Made with moist spiced pumpkin cake rolled around a tangy cream cheese filling, it’s ideal for Thanksgiving or cozy autumn gatherings. Easy to prep ahead, freeze-friendly, and visually stunning.


Ingredients

3 large eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

⅔ cup pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

1 cup powdered sugar

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 10×15 jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease it.

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale.

3. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.

5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.

6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

7. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

8. Turn the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.

9. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.

10. Roll the cake up in the towel (starting from the short side) and let it cool completely.

11. Meanwhile, make the filling: beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

12. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fluffy.

13. Gently unroll the cake and spread the filling evenly over it.

14. Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and wrap in plastic wrap.

15. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

16. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Notes

Always roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracks.

Chill the cake for an hour or more before slicing for cleaner swirls.

Use parchment paper and powdered sugar to avoid sticking and tearing.
